I won a Heritage survey prize

I fill out the survey every year, and to my surprise I received a packet from HA letting me know I'd won a free collection consultation that included up to 30 complimentary grading submissions.
I stay pretty current with my grading and regularly resubmit coins as needed, so I don't actually have 30 coins waiting to be graded. I do pick up raw coins throughout the year, so I asked if there was any flexibility.
They were very accommodating and said they could spread the submissions out over the course of the year based on my situation. They also offered an alternative: a $500 auction purchase voucher. Since having a middleman handle grading would be a bit inconvenient for me unless it was a one-time submission, I opted for the auction voucher instead.
I appreciated the flexibility. I figured I'd share my experience, and hopefully someone else here ends up winning one of the survey prizes next year!

Nice congratulations and good pull on the voucher that would be the best way to go
Thats better than me, been entering it for 15years, and only ever got the standard coupon for auction consignment
Over a decade ago I won the main prize. I t was a 1907 High Relief $20! I still have it.
Congrats, that’s an amazing prize!

Gratz!!! I have so many crazy things I've bought over the years I'd love to do the consultation. Lots of unattributed darkside that's be great slabbed. Gonna have to be diligent go forward
That is AWESOME !
Note to self, don't ignore the HA surveys.
Free $. Almost qualifies for the beloved "you suck" award?
Are the grading certificates only for coins being submitted for auction?
All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.
No commitment to sell the graded coins, but I'm sure they are playing the odds that they'd have the first shot if you decided to consign at that point.
Nice to know the rewards are real.
That's a very nice award.
